She waved the Heaven and Earth Fan, and countless immortal flowers and spiritual plants appeared out of thin air and circled in the air.
Mo Tiange shouted softly, "Go!"
The fragrant flowers and plants instantly emitted a fierce momentum, and the spiritual aura exploded, razing a loess slope to the ground.
"Not bad. Its power isn't great, but its control of spiritual aura is very exquisite."
The voice in the Fusheng Sword praised, "Your natal magic weapon is really marvelous. Your ancestor must've been a brilliant person to be able to think of such a magic weapon. Unfortunately …"
Mo Tiange had told Fu Yao Zi about Mo Yaoqing, and he sighed with emotion after hearing her experience.
Fu Yao Zi was a strong-willed person, so he admired cultivators like Mo Yaoqing who never gave up despite experiencing difficulties. He also heard that she, as a female cultivator, didn't want to be burdened by her appearance and was very intelligent, so he admired her even more.
Mo Tiange also sighed when she thought of Mo Yaoqing. Without her beauty, Mo Yaoqing would've become one of the famous great cultivators in Yunzhong. Unfortunately, her beauty not only didn't bring her any benefits, but it also harmed her life.
"Okay, you've grasped fifty to sixty percent of the wonders of this Heaven and Earth Fan, so you've passed for the time being."
"Fifty to sixty percent?" Mo Tiange was surprised. "Only fifty to sixty percent?"
"Of course."
Fu Yao Zi's voice was still calm. "This fan is your natal magic weapon, but it's hard for you to understand it with your current realm.
It's already not bad for you to display fifty to sixty percent of its power. You'll only be able to display its full power when you reach the Nascent Soul realm. "
At this point, Fu Yao Zi sighed again. "Otherwise, with my ability, how could I easily admire others?"
Mo Tiange couldn't help but mutter in her heart. If he and Mo Yaoqing were born in the same era, he would've fallen in love with her, right?
Unfortunately, the two of them were tens of thousands of years apart, so they couldn't meet.
Speaking of which, although she didn't have as deep feelings for this master as Lord Daoist Jinghe, she still admired him after getting along with him for several years.
He was kind, upright, and upright. If Mo Yaoqing had met such a person back then, she probably wouldn't have such prejudice against men.
"Master, what should I do next?"
"Cultivate."
Fu Yao Zi said, "These past few years, Master has already taught you a lot of magical techniques. Now, even if you were to face a Nascent Soul cultivator, you shouldn't be completely defenseless.
What you lack the most right now is cultivation. If you can improve your cultivation, your strength will naturally increase. "
Mo Tiange nodded.
There was no need to think about advancing to the Nascent Soul Stage in a short period of time. Advancing to the Nascent Soul Stage was not a simple matter. Even if everything was ready, it was normal to only have results after ten or twenty years of seclusion.
As for Fu Yao Zi, he was only a wisp of divine consciousness. Although he could reside on the Fusheng Sword, he could not wait until that moment.
Mo Tiange quickly returned to the Virtual Sky World to enter Closed Door Meditation.
Under Fu Yao Zi's guidance and with the help of various spiritual herbs, she was originally only a step away from completing the Core Formation Realm. As long as there were no accidents, she would be able to advance within two to three years.
While Mo Tiange was hiding in the desolate land of the Western Continent, preparing to advance to the peak stage of the Core Formation realm, the whole of Yunzhong was turned upside down because of the whereabouts of "Qin Wei."
In Eastern Tang's Jiuyan Sect, seven or eight people gathered in the Immortal's Cave of the Head Grand Supreme Elder, Master Daoist Yuan Mu. These people were either sitting or standing. Half of them were top Nascent Soul cultivators in Yunzhong, while the other half were only in the Core Formation realm.
The person sitting in the first position was naturally Master Daoist Yuan Mu, the Head Grand Supreme Elder of Jiuyan Sect. He was the cultivator with the highest cultivation level in Jiuyan Sect and one of the strongest among the late Nascent Soul cultivators in Yunzhong.
A sect that could become a big shot among the cultivation sects in Yunzhong was bound to have many talented and powerful cultivators.
The reason why Jiuyan Sect had occupied the title of the number one cultivation group for so many years and never declined was because it never lacked late Nascent Soul cultivators, and its strength had always been at the top of Yunzhong's cultivators.
This Master Daoist Yuan Mu was less than a thousand years old, but he had long entered the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm. For so many years, he had always been one of the most powerful cultivators in Yunzhong.
Sitting next to Master Daoist Yuan Mu was a middle stage Nascent Soul cultivator who was about the same age as him. He was the ancestor of Sky Snow City's Ling Clan, Ling Shiyu.
Although Ling Shiyu was only in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul realm and his strength couldn't be considered second in Jiuyan Sect, he had a very good relationship with Master Daoist Yuan Mu and was good at making friends with people of the same generation, so his status in Jiuyan Sect was also extraordinary.
As for the Core Formation cultivator standing behind Ling Shiyu, he was Ling Clan's descendant, Ling Yunhe.
In front of the Head Grand Supreme Elder and the ancestor, even though Ling Yunhe was the Sect Head of Jiuyan Sect, he could only stand.
Aside from these three Jiuyan Sect hosts, the other people in the guest seats were monks and scholars, all dressed differently.
Sitting on the left was an old monk with a white beard, white eyebrows, and a kind face. If Mo Tiange was here, she would definitely recognize this old monk whose eyes were always closed — he was Revered Wu Ming.
Behind him stood Wu Ming, who'd tried to rob her but lost the inescapable net.
Sitting on the right was a fair-skinned, beardless young scholar in his twenties. This scholar was young, but he was already in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm. His cultivation level was unfathomable.
The Core Formation cultivator behind him looked like a middle-aged scholar. He was actually Han Shizhi, who once set up an ambush in Sky Snow City to snatch the Fusheng Sword.
Three great late stage Nascent Soul cultivators representing the three great cultivation factions of Daoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism were now gathered together. If outsiders found out about this, they would definitely turn pale with fright.
"You two." Master Daoist Yuan Mu was the first to break the silence. He looked at the monk and the scholar and said, "What should we do about this matter? Today, we have to come up with a plan. You can't just not take a stand!"
Upon hearing this, the young scholar put down the teacup he'd been holding and said with a smile, "Brother Daoist Yuan Mu, our Righteous Path has always been the leader of your sect. Regarding this matter, Brother Daoist should naturally take the lead."
Revered Wu Ming, who'd been smiling like the Maitreya Buddha, just nodded without saying anything.
Seeing this situation, Master Daoist Yuan Mu secretly frowned.
Logically speaking, with Jiuyan Sect's status in Yunzhong, he should have taken the lead and expressed his stance first. However, the attitude of these two old fellows made him unhappy. At a time like this, they just had to make him speak first.
After pondering for a while, Master Daoist Yuan Mu finally opened his mouth, "Fellow Daoists, this matter is of great importance. It can be said that it affects the fortune of Yunzhong for a thousand years. As the leaders of the three great factions of the Righteous Path, it's really not a good thing if we continue to make excuses.
Why don't we tell each other about our plans and come up with a workable solution? What do you think? "
"Fellow Daoist Yuan Mu's words make sense."
Revered Wu Ming was still smiling. He put his palms together and said, "Now that things have come to this, I'm sure none of our three sects are willing to give up this opportunity. If not for this, we wouldn't be sitting here together."
The old monk's words finally made Master Daoist Yuan Mu feel a little better. He immediately said, "That's right. Since both of you have chosen to come to my Jiuyan Sect to discuss this matter, I believe that both of you have the intention to cooperate, right?"
Hearing this, Revered Wu Ming uttered the name of Buddha and nodded slightly.
Seeing this, Master Daoist Yuan Mu turned to the young scholar. "Mister Yu, what about you?"
"Naturally." The young scholar lightly waved the folding fan in his hand and said casually.
On the surface, they had reached an intention to cooperate. Master Daoist Yuan Mu smiled. "Since both of you have the same idea as me, then there's an explanation for this matter."
After a pause, he said, "Both of you know that if we want to open that mysterious space, just the items in the hands of our three sects aren't enough. We also need to find the Heavenly Demon Tower and the Supporting Life Sword."
Revered Wu Ming nodded. "The matter of the Five Saints was originally caused by the appearance of the Heavenly Demon Tower. However, we still don't know whose hands the Heavenly Demon Tower ended up in. What should we do?"
The young scholar surnamed Yu smiled faintly. "The whereabouts of the Heavenly Demon Tower is easy to deal with."
"Oh?" Hearing this, Master Daoist Yuan Mu looked at him. "What does Mister Yu think?"
Scholar Yu said, "No matter whose hands the Heavenly Demon Tower ends up in, it still needs to be used together with the other four holy items in order to be effective.
Since that's the case, we just need to gather all the other holy items together, and the owner of the Heavenly Demon Tower will naturally appear. "
When he said this, everyone else couldn't help but nod.
"So, the most important thing for us now is to find the Supporting Life Sword.
Everyone knows about the Supporting Life Sword. For the past ten years, all the major forces in Yunzhong have been searching for the whereabouts of that female cultivator from the Outer Endless Sea. It can be said that everyone has turned Yunzhong upside down, but this female cultivator seems to have disappeared without a trace.
Under such circumstances, everyone thinks that it's very likely that this woman has left Yunzhong and returned to her hometown, right? "
"That's right."
Master Daoist Yuan Mu nodded. "It's been more than ten years, and many forces in Yunzhong have been searching for her, but they actually haven't found a single clue. Unless this person isn't in Yunzhong, it's really hard to explain."
"But if we can't find the Supporting Life Sword, we can't cooperate even if we want to."
Scholar Yu's words caused everyone present to fall silent.
None of the five holy items could be missing. This was the crux of the problem.
Although the Heavenly Demon Tower had disappeared decades ago, everyone knew that it must still be in Yunzhong. It was just that the person who obtained it didn't want to publicize it.
But this Supporting Life Sword, it was hard to say.
"Since Mister Yu said so, you should have already thought of a countermeasure, right?" Ling Shiyu, who was sitting at the side, said.
Scholar Yu still smiled faintly. He glanced at Ling Shiyu and nodded lightly. "That's right. I have indeed thought about this for a long time.
Although I haven't thought of a definite solution, I have some ideas. "
Master Daoist Yuan Mu was delighted. "Mister Yu, please speak frankly."
Scholar Yu said, "Everyone, do you really think that the female cultivator from the Outer Endless Sea has left Yunzhong?"
Master Daoist Yuan Mu and Revered Wu Ming were stunned. What did he mean by that?
Scholar Yu continued, "Speaking of which, it's quite a coincidence. The juniors of our three sects have all seen this female cultivator with the surname Qin before, but none of us know her true origins. Am I right?"
Ling Yunhe and the other two involuntarily nodded.
There was no need to talk about Jue Wu. He knew the least. Han Shizhi and Ling Yunhe had both conversed with her before, but even Ling Yunhe, who had gone through danger together with them, didn't know this female cultivator's true origins.
"Cultivators from the Outer Endless Sea. The so-called Outer Endless Sea refers to outside the Inner Endless Sea of Yunzhong. Other than the islands far away in the depths of the sea, we, the people of Yunzhong, also call Yuan Province and Xiao Yang the Outer Endless Sea."
When Scholar Yu said this, a thought flashed in Ling Yunhe's mind, and he blurted out, "Senior Yu means that this Qin Wei might be from Yuan Province or Xiao Yang?"
Scholar Yu shook his head lightly. "Not necessarily, but we can't rule out this possibility."
